Firefighters walk past a burning protective wall after the controlled blasting of an unexploded WWII-era bomb in Munich, Germany. Bales of straw which had been placed around the bomb to cushion the shock of the detonation were set ablaze and thrown through the air by the detonation. Some of them landed on roofs of neighbouring buildings and ignited fires.Picture: Feuerwehr Muenchen / EPA
